    Need help finding a roll up door weatherstrip

    I have a roll up style door and I can't find suitable replacement for the bottom weatherstrip/sweep. It's a "U" style, but the trouble is that all of the replacements I've looked at are too thick to fit in the track (I've tried). The problem is the thickness; mine is .05 inches thick, but the...

    Insulating metal buildings

    I'm in the process of building a metal "carport" style garage... the kind with a 2x2 tube steel structure. I would really like to insulate it for both condensation prevention as well as to make it so that future attempts to heat the building are within the realm of possibilities. There...

    Anyone ID this ratchet?

    This is a 3/8 ratchet that belongs to a friend. He says that it's snap on but it has absolutely no identifying information whatsoever. It's a strange little ratchet, not sure how it works but it feels like an infinite position mechanism of some sort. Any clues? I'd really like to buy one for...

    Leaky Oxygen regulator

    I finally got around to picking up a port a torch set. Not really what I want (I want acetylene, propane, and a huge oxy tank, no room for all that right now) but it should fit the bill for small cutting and heating jobs and maybe let me find out if I **** at gas welding as bad as I do with...

    Let's talk oxy/acetylene setups

    I've been saying it for a while... "im going to buy a torch this time" after trying to do something with my MAPP torch or my little bernzomatic oxy/mapp setup. I'm ready to take the plunge now. Not so much worried about the torch/regulators as I am the TANKS. I've read that the portable...

    Buying used impact sockets

    Never owned an impact, so I've never owned impact sockets. However I plan to change this, at first with a cordless impact. Even then my use will be pretty limited so I'd like to save as much as possible. Is buying them used sight unseen (well, other than pictures, like here or ebay) a big...

    Bit Sockets

    Who makes the best COMPLETE bit socket set? Would like torx and hex at a minimum. Snap on has a pretty nice set... for $700 :lol_hitti Everything else I've managed to find you would need to buy separate sets to make what I consider would be a "complete" set.

    Metal buildings - educate me.
